Kisatsutai/ An Inotan Story

Chapter 18

Zenitsu knocked on the door and waited for a response.

"Come in." A voice called.

Zenitsu entered the room and was met by bright blue eyes.

"Hey Kai..." Zenitsu greeted, looking into the eyes of Kaigaku as he closed the door behind him.

"How many times do i have to say not to call me that?"

"No one's here right. It's just you and me." Zenitsu stared at his eyes, pleading for forgiveness. Despite his rough demeanor, Kaigaku broke under the stare.

"Ugh fine. You know I can't resist those eyes." Kaigaku replied, beckoning Zenitsu to take a seat next to him on the couch.

"So...Any updates on your friends?"

Inosuke donned his hoodie and was now sitting on his bed preparing an excuse to tell his boyfriend as to why he would be out so late. It didn't help being dumb because he literally had no idea what to tell Tanjiro and the time he was supposed to meet Douma was approaching.Fast.

"Ino! You wanna watch a movie with me?" He heard Tanjiro call from the living room. Inosuke took a deep breath before standing up and leaving his room.

"Sorry Tan. I've gotta go for...lessons." Inosuke chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck

"On a Saturday?"

"I'm...a very special case. You know I can be a bit dumb."

"Uhhh ok? When will you be back?"

"Ummm even I dont know," Inosuke glanced at his phone, his eyes widening when he sees the time," I'llcallyouwhenI'monthewaybackbye!"

Inosuke rushed out of the door, pulling the hood over his head, ready to do whatever he can to get that creep Douma off his back. Off Tanjiro's back.

"Well well well, looks like the pig's got balls"
"What the fuck do you need me to do." Inosuke growled

"Woah what's the rush? Rushing to get back for some mushy time with your Boyf-"

Inosuke grabbed Douma by the collar, pulling him close to him and staring daggers into his soul.

"Do.Not.Even.Think.About.Mentioning.Him" Inosuke snarled, refusing to back down despite the glare Kokushibou was giving him. Douma quickly pushed Inosuke off him, tidying his shirt as the two separated.

"Most people would think twice before laying their hands on me," Douma shot a smirk at Inosuke," I like you."

"Just shut up and tell me what I need to do."

Douma put his arm around Inosuke's shoulder and pointed at a gym door.

"You see, the basketball team is practicing for their big game this coming Tuesday. Now, there's a guy on the team who thought it'd be funny to get on my bad side so I want him to learn a lesson. He owns a very expensive watch, a rolex to be exact."

"Ok, I got it." Inosuke understood the assignment. After all, he was good at this kind of stuff.

So Inosuke set off for the gym, using the shadows cast by the lights to his advantage. Lucky enough for him. The gym lockers were outside the gym room so it wasn't hard to locate the team's stuff. However, he forgot to ask for more details on his target like what his bag looked like or what his locker number was so he started searching locker by locker, trying to be as quiet as possible. His heart skipped a beat when he heard a whistle and the sound of voices growing louder and louder. He still had 5 lockers to check and the team's training was wrapping up.

Inosukue couldn't risk going back with nothing so he took a chance and skipped 3 lockers. He picked the lock of the fourth locker and rummaged through the bag inside. He almost gave up hope when he felt cold metal brush against his hand. He immediately grabbed it and pulled it out, closing the locker door in the process. With less than a second to spare, he sprinted into the shadows, confident that the couldnt be seen and he made his way back to his so called "Employer"

"Congratulations idiot. That's the first job of many." Douma remarked, admiring the watch in his hand.

"Am I done here?"

"Yeah sure why not? Go enjoy cuddly time~"

Inosuke balled his fist, holding back his words as he turned around and started to walk away. However, he stopped in his tracks before half-turning to say his parting words,"Tanjiro's observant you know. You won't be able to get away with this for long."

Inosuke continued walking, ignoring the laughter Douma had just erupted into behind him.

"I'm gonna kill him." Inosuke thought, being drawn closer and closer to his limit.

Inosuke walked through the door to his room and saw Tanjiro fast asleep. Truthfully he felt bad, Saturday's had always been a day for the two of them. He hated the fact that he had to hide his arrangement with Douma from him but it was best if they wanted to keep their secret. Not wanting to wake his boyfriend, Inosuke picked him off the couch and brought him to his room. He tucked his boyfriend into the bed before hopping in himself, facing his lover. Tanjiro always looked so peaceful when he slept that it never failed to captivate Inosuke. Inosuke gently raised his hand to cup his boyfriend's cheek, before pulling him closer to press their foreheads together.

"I'm sorry, Tanjiro..."
